Game Rules

Terms of Use
There is a Code of Conduct that you must follow when playing Utopia, which is designed to help keep the game as enjoyable as possible for all. This Code of Conduct applies to the main game experience, wiki, forums and any other associated websites. Violation of any of these rules may result in immediate termination of your Utopia account, and your accounts on any associated websites.

Thank you for abiding by these rules. If another user is violating these rules, please let us know immediately at utopiasupport@utopia-game.com.
1. Account Suspension/Deletion
Your account may be suspended, modified or deleted at any time for any reason, with or without notice to you. In the event of suspension, modification or deletion of your account, you will not be entitled to a refund of any prior amounts that have been paid by you to purchase credits for your account. For purposes of explanation and not limitation, most account suspensions/deletions are the result of violations of the Code of Conduct.
2. Code of Conduct
2.a. Your Account
You may create only one account in the Utopia gaming environment. You may maintain only your own account: under no circumstances should your account be accessed by anyone other than you. In the event that a third party is deemed to be accessing your account, both you and the third party will be considered in violation of the Code of Conduct.

Persistent creation and deletion of accounts is not allowed under any circumstances.

Should your account be suspended, the creation of a new account will be considered a breach of the Code of Conduct.

If other players legitimately access Utopia from your internet connection, you must take steps to gain inclusion on our whitelist. This will help avoid the relevant game accounts being flagged as cheaters. Please see this thread for details.
2.b. Contact Information
The information you provide when signing up is used to protect the Utopia game from cheating. You are expected to provide complete and accurate information account information, and to keep it up to date. You can update this information in the Account Settings section of the game.

Exceptions may be made at the sole discretion of the operators of the game, and may be revoked at any time without notice.
2.e. Spirit of the Rules
Players attempting to manipulate rules and quirks of the game in ways obviously not intended may be subject to deletion. Because of their nature, these types of circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis. Users should avoid actions they believe are against the spirit and intent of the game.

2.g. Language & Attitude
Utopia is played by people of all ages and backgrounds. You are expected to treat others with respect and use only appropriate language in any contact with other players.
In particular:

you may not use language that is vulgar or that is otherwise offensive, defamatory, obscene, hateful or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable
you may not post any content that is subject to the rights of any other person or entity
you may not post any content that is related to drugs, sex or any criminal activity
you may not post any content including any personally identifiable information about another player or yourself

You are encouraged to report any violation of these rules. Violators will be considered in breach of the Code of Conduct, and subject to suspension or deletion.
2.h. Province, Leader and Kingdom Names
Players may select names for their province, leader and kingdom, which are visible to other players in the game. As such, these names are subject to the Language & Attitude rules defined above. In addition, the following rules apply:

Names may not contain gibberish (for example, “asdqwe”, “lkjlkjlkj”, “542341224” etc)
Names may not be designed to be confusingly similar to other names in the game. For example, it is forbidden for the provinces of a kingdom to select names that are deliberately difficult to distinguish from each other.
Names may not be designed to be confusing with respect to the normal text of the game. For example, it is forbidden to set a kingdom name that reads like an error message to a novice player.
